    Another Question for Fitness Freak

    Debbie, I've been struggling with my diet and emotional eating lately so my interest was peaked by your mention of BTFFTB. Right now, supposedly, you can download the book for 39 dollars. Is this the system your talking about? Does he deal with craving, binging or emotional eating at all? I'm...

    help I can't stop eating.

    wow, thanks to everyone who replied. It's funny that just the simple act of writing down how your feeling, asking for help is very therapeutic. Annette, I have often (briefly) thought that my anger at my husband might have more to do with my overeating then anything else. And I have briefly...

    help I can't stop eating.

    thank you Ginny, your reply made me cry. I know that I'm an emotional/stress eater. And I know that I beat myself up alot for getting to this point. I think that I am a reasonably intelligent person, and I sure can preach diet/exercise to other people, but when it comes to myself... I think...

    help I can't stop eating.

    I was hoping that I could get some help/advice/encouragement/knock over the head from someone - I am having so much trouble controlling my diet. I have gained 20 lbs in the last two years because I can't seem to withstand my cravings for junk food/sugar. I lost 50 pounds 4 years ago with WW...

    running ?

    A good way to start/restart a running program is the couch to 5K program at coolrunning.com. My whole family used it last year to run some 5k's in the summer, It's especially good if youre prone to injury. Sandi

    Will 2 days of cardio be enough?

    I know everybody is different, and I know there isn't one set formula for everybody, but it's nice to hear what works for different people. Personally, I work a physically and emotionally challenging job where I work 12 hour overnight shifts, and I simply cannot spend more than 5 days a week...

    Will 2 days of cardio be enough?

    I'm sorry if this has been asked, but as much as I try to follow the rotations that Cathe sets up, I usually end up only being able to workout 5 days a week. Will I still be able to get great results with only 2 days of cardio? Or would I need to add cardio to one of the STS days? Thanks, Sandi

    Night Shift - fitting in Cathe?

    Hello, I work 7p-7a in a busy ER, so I totally can relate to your question. I have a block schedule where I usually only work a couple of nights in a row, but every third weekend I work 4 in a row. I usually try and schedule my workouts so that I will workout during the day of my first shift...

    advice on starting cathe workouts

    Thank you Lainie and Marcy for your ideas. So, after all of that, I end up pulling a hip muscle and have been halted from running for about 2 and half weeks now. My ortho doc told me I could exercise as long as it didn't hurt. Well, running hurts, cycling hurts, walking hurts. Pretty much...

    advice on starting cathe workouts

    I've been looking thru the rotations a little more and there's a few that I wouldn't mind doing - like aug '04, but in order to get all the dvd's needed I would have to pay around $600. So now my question is, can someone suggest a good rotation for weight loss / strength training that would...

    advice on starting cathe workouts

    Thank you Marcy for replying. Wondering now, how you would work all the workouts in with running days included. I usually like one day off a week and one day totally devoted to a long run, as I might be out for two hours. When I did p90x, everything was mapped out day by day and I just added...
